"Could have been better. I had heard rave reviews and received recommendations that Low Country Backyard was a must on my Hilton Head culinary list. I was left unsatisfied , bordering on disappointing. We went early 5 ish to beat the anticipated crowd. We did. It have to sit for our table of four. Seating is tight and only available outdoors due to COVID or so we were told. we saw patrons sitting inside. Outside was a quaint , eclectic , little courtyard. There are heat lamps to take off the chill it was December when we visited . The evening began well enough as our server was eager and upbeat. He took the kids order and promptly brought out their lemonade .l should have known better than giving glass mason jars to a young one was a recipe for disaster. After a few sips the condensation on the glass made it slip right out of his hands and shattered on the brick pavers. This was an accident but the way we were treated was less than hospitable. The person who assisted, who I later saw was the owner came over and very strongly told us not to move and pulled my sons chair out of the way and told us we were moving to another table . No smiles or southern charm, just very direct. I wasn?t expected someone to come over and cajole us, but the way she spoke to us just put us off. The food came and I had orders shrimp and grits, understandings that was their signature dish. While It was not bad , it just wasn?t my good either. The grits were old and dry , with no flavor . The shrimp were over cooked . The sauce was the one saving grace for the dish. My wife?s BLY on pita bread was OK. Again not horrible , but we probably would not go out of our way to return."
